Thanks for the suggestion, but I disagree.  Maybe it's just me being
old-fashioned, or pedantic, but using '2' to denote 'to' just seems
wrong to me.  Also, this software doesn't share any common code with
cvs2svn (in fact, I've never even used or looked at it), and trying to
make them sound like they're related wouldn't make much sense.
